The so-called “new” trend of green coffins is, in historical terms, a return to the oldest traditions of burial. For millennia, humans buried their dead in simple shrouds or biodegradable containers: wooden planks, woven reeds, or simple mounds of earth.
The elaborate, sealed-casket burial is a very recent invention, a product of the American Civil War era and the rise of embalming to preserve bodies for long-distance transport. This was industrialized and marketed into the standard practice we know today.
The choice of a green coffin for a child is, therefore, a conscious step back from a brief historical anomaly. It rejects the 20th century’s medicalization and commercialization of death in favor of a simpler, more ancient practice. It echoes the times when a child’s passing was marked by a simple wooden box crafted by a father or a community carpenter, and the grave was dug by neighbors. In this light, the green coffin is not radical; it is a reclamation of a more authentic, personal, and historically normalized way of saying goodbye.
